BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C.–Thousands of voters flocked to the polls in records numbers in Berkeley County on Tuesday. In fact, some voters say they waited as long as two hours to cast their vote.

โ€œThe percentage will be comparable to 2012 and 2008 but the number of voters served will be higher due to the population increase in Berkeley County over the last several years,” statedย Adam Hammons, the director for Berkeley County Elections and Voter Registration.
